Sorry, but that's wrong.

First, the .a vs. .la thing is a libtool thing: if you don't have the 
libtool files, you need to build them, not fake them with symlinks.

Second, the reentrant vs. regular version of libmysqlclient: if you're 
building MySQL++ with thread support, you really need the reentrant 
libmysqlclient, not a symlink to the other version.

I'm going to have to do some thinking to decide the right way to make 
that happen.  I may have to add a dedicated zlib autoconf test.

Dependent libraries have to be listed before their dependencies because 
the GNU linker deals with the libraries right to left: since 
libmysqlclient depends on libz, if the linker hasn't found the functions 
in libz by the time it starts looking at the imports in libmysqlclient, 
it complains.
